Abstract

Most hypertext systems used in the field embed some form of mark-up in each
hyperdocument in order to represent the hypertext structure. Indeed, more generally, most
document preparation systems use this approach. Hypertext researchers, on the other hand,
say that the structure of a hyperdocument should be separate from its content. This paper
investigates whether the two approaches, embedded v. separate, are really at odds with one
another, and describes a technology for combining some of the benefits of both.
